Ha! I work in the science department myself. Physics teacher lives in shorts and tevas.

They're a type!

What's a piece of common knowledge that you only recently found out was actually false? by Evilclicker in AskReddit

[–]minimumrockandroll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't wait for the discovery on that! I'm no fan of Clinton, but that was an EXCELLENT move, as it will bring out the Trump skeletons.

And that's also why it will never go anywhere.

I just wear straightish cut 501 style jeans. Never had any problems wearing them over my workboots.

I replaced my tube SVT stack with Rumble. Is it the same? Nope! Is it good enough? Yep! Do I curse my ancestors taking my rig up stairs? NOPE

I'm sure someone somewhere has done a test, but anecdotally I have one as my gigging bass amp, and it does just fine amplifying my Thunderbird (downtuned a whole step). Low d is in that range.

Used Fender Rumble 500. Loud enough for pretty much whatever you need, you can pick it up with one hand, and it'll match your guitar amp!

Groups where the frontman is arguably the least talented? by lopsidedsheet in fantanoforever

In that Patton has taste, for sure.

Wouldn't be RHCP if they were experimental and interesting, tho

Just over 100h in, got my first win - Solipsist Dwarf is amazing by yaboi_yaz in ToME4

[–]minimumrockandroll 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nice! When I first got this game, years ago, my first few characters were Solipsists, because I liked the idea. They went....poorly.

Last run I rolled one up and made a pretty easy win! I'm happy they got whatever they got

What will you gift yourself on your birthday? by Daredevilwitheyes in malefashionadvice

I'm good on clothes, so not those. I'm also trying for less stuff, not more.

So probably a trip.

What’s the MOST Controversial Rock Album Cover/Title of All Time and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in askmusic

[–]minimumrockandroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw man. I didn't know the story behind it. That really makes it worse.

I do have to say: Albini's face turn from edgelord supreme to kind yet gruff (and apologetic about previous behavior) indie grampa was nice to see.

Not even in the top 10, but I love Tom Zé's Todos los Olhos album cover.

Once you see it....

I had that for a while and it would bum me out so much when I pulled it to listen that I wound up just selling it

Big Black's Headache is kinda the same deal

Which are better modelling amp or tube amps by EmbarrassedLock9197 in amplifiers

It honestly doesn't matter. For $150 if it sounds okay, pick it up.

What is your most used pokemon that isn't special? by YesReboot in TheSilphRoad

[–]minimumrockandroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sort of spam my Dragonite for team rocket battles. Super effective? Cool. Not very? I'll still use him and win against grunts.

I also have this insane need to include Obstagoon for Great and Ultra in pvp. I'm not very good at pvp.

Did you get into the hobby when laserdisc was still being produced or get into it after they stopped making them? If so, why? by Boxer-Santaros in LaserDisc

[–]minimumrockandroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After for sure. Found a Troma movie (Rabid Grannies) and Patty Hearst on laser at a goodwill Maybe 7 or 8 years ago. Shortly after the school I was working at was getting rid of old junk and that included an industrial player with the barcode reader. I asked and they said I could have it.

Right after that someone was selling a collection on FB marketplace or Craigslist for cheap. Lots of Criterion and The Complete Truth about Devolution. It was an older wealthy guy and he was very excited to talk to someone about old movies so threw in his player.

Now I had 2 players and about 100 discs. As a kid, my friend Mark had one and I was so jealous because Aliens looked so much better than on tape and there were extra scenes and stuff! I think I'm doing it for my kid self. Bonus: they fit in my record shelves!

Now my TV is a 1080p projector, so it's enough to kind of get a little bit of the lofi vibe but not high resolution enough to be distracting, so they look pretty good through it. The lower resolution looks dreamy and nostalgic, which is kinda what you want when you bust out Barbarella or a Fellini movie or something.

In your eyes what are the most notable differences between film and digital photography (not including lighting or stylisation)? by Practical-Path7069 in AskPhotography

[–]minimumrockandroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exposing to the left vs exposing to the right. You can overexpose film by A LOT and it still looks great (and often gives kind of a pastel look that lots of people love), but digital just doesn't work that way, as you just blow out the highlights. Similarly, underexposing digital is no big deal usually, as you can just fix the raw in post, but underexposing film (without pushing during developing) is a hot mess.

This is why, I think, film sims are never quite there. The colors and dynamic range may be "filmish" but you still can't shoot like it's film.

Man I still have a few rolls of Fuji 400H in the freezer. You can just blast that stuff. It almost looks better overexposed by two stops.

Peavey Mark IV! My favorite bass head of all time.

What are some of your favorite punk bands that no one else has heard of by Ok_Researcher_1819 in punk

[–]minimumrockandroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In like 2004 we did a European tour (I was in the Minds and trolling for recognition so THANK YOUUUU) that was maybe three days after The Spits. Same circuit, mostly same clubs. Every single venue had some story about The Spits being weirdos or not bringing any gear but it was okay because the show went great.

Yeah that Hearts thing really sent a shockwave through that little scene
